Port Rom from MT6797 Devices to Redmi Note 4 ? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
is there any solution to port a rom from this Devices ?
w*ww.kimovil.com/de/liste-smartphones-nach-prozessor/mediatek-helio-x20-mt6797
the Meizu MX6 have the same SOC + Camera and Antutu Score of 98.578

We need Xiaomi to release their source code to create ROMs that work properly.

No way to recompile and reverse engineering ?

The developer of cm14.1 for our device is already working on that. As for porting roms like Huawei ROM, other ROM it depends on whether people are interested or not. It is possible by using the patchrom method. Juts depends on whether people are interested are not. For example, there are people interested in maiing cm14.1 and now we do have an alpha build
Just let the people take their time. this is still a relatively new device.

because I have owned 3 xiaomi devices. Trust me. Like I said, it depends on whether people (developers) are interested or not.
as for cm14.1 update, we will never know.

hi . porting roms mt6797 to our device is it same as porting MT67XX To MT67XX, the way is easy there are many guides on net and videos, because Redmi Note 4 MTK haven't devellopent like SnapDragon version.

Custom ROM Progress/Collaboration?

I am curious if anyone is currently working on getting CM (or any custom ROM) working for our devices. I'm not trying to bug anyone or get an ETA, but I was thinking about attempting to port CM with their tutorial.
If anyone is working on porting a ROM, or has any tips for me I'd love to talk. Thanks.
I've just started looking into porting CM over to the 5x. I've never built a port before and I'm a bit lost in the CM documentation for it. Feel free to PM me or post below with any tips or advice.

I have only built unofficial builds before, but hopefully since we have source and other Huawei devices with CM, it should be fairly easy.
If you haven't built CM for a device that it's already been ported to, I'd recommend doing that before you attempt to port it.
Good luck. I'll post any progress I make.
Am too eagerly waiting for cm on 5x .fed up of bad performance from stock .heating up too much .I was really disappointed by the heating problem .
What else I had hopes On was the on cm12.1 or 13 .
I usually check for a thread if anyone build one cm ROM for our device but still the development haven't started !

I'm *trying* to get CM 12.1 to work for our device, but I've never ported before so don't expect anything soon

It's still early. The fact that Huawei makes bootloader unlock codes available and has provided the amount of source code for the kernel that they have has allowed development here to happen much more rapidly than many devices do (particularly devices that lie out side of "volume" interest -- like an S5 or S6). I'm pretty optimistic.
The flip side is that life is so busy for me at the moment that it makes patience pretty easy (as in, if a stable cm13 suddenly became available I still would take my sweet time in getting around to flashing it). If I had more time on my hands it would probably be different.
Yes lets see how long we need to wait !
Can someone (hopefully a dev like @deadman96385, @EarlyMon @cyrusalmighty) confirm/agree that the Honor 5X's (I have KIW-24, US ver.) vendor = HONOR and codename = HNKIW-Q. I'm a little perplexed by what the codename is since HNKIW-Q doesn't seem right. I got that name from the build.prop ro.product.device like CM recommends.
Can anyone confirm that I have the vendor and codename right? Thanks.
EDIT: After looking at similar Huawei devices (Ascend Mate 2) it looks like the codename should just be "kiw". The Mate 2's actual ro.product.device = hwMT2LO3, but it's CM codename is "mt2." Because of this, I think for the CM codename should be "kiw". Does that sound right?

In theory but the kiw stands for kiwi this info is directly from Huawei and we all like Kiwi more lol. You also do have a L24 US variant

Thanks. So any custom ROM development for this device will be like Huawei/kiwi? I'm just wondering, because I'd like to know how I should be naming my files specific to Honor 5X ROM development.
EDIT:
Also, @deadman96385 do you mind sharing the partition sizes you used for building TWRP?
Name it kiwi .it sounds really great ! Moreover i dont what others are thinking on naming this device ,but kiwi is maximum minds .Go for it !

I didn't realize you had already started working on a CM port. I guess I can't really help out then. :/
Don't get me wrong, I do really appreciate all the work you do for this device.

Cyanogenmod ROM mipad 2

Does anyone know if a cyanogenmod rom for mipad 2 is available?

Dear Developers and Hackers of XDA,
I just bought this tablet. I looked around on the MIUI forum for MI Pad 2 and see that there are ways to root a developer MIUI ROM for this tablet. I also see that there are also instructions to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. I am big fan of Cyanogemod and am hoping to have it on the tablet. Has anybody tried and/succeeded to port Cyanogenmod to this tablet?
Hoping for the best
Sincerely
dspati
Hi dEvasEnApati I'm in your situation! I hope to recive news as soon as possible because i want to install cyano!
Xda dev have you got some news?
Hi,
Following the instructions from the miui forum I managed to unlock the bootloader, root , install TWRP and AOSP rom. I was wondering what are the requirements to have a cyanogen mod for it? Are there CMs for devices with intel x86_64 hardware?
I'll get my mipad 2 soon! I think in a week or two then I'll Start heavy development on it ? i think of aosp is possible cm will be possible too :] I'll keep u guys updated
Hi Nailyouh,
Thank you very much for doing this!
Maybe this may help: As paul_ro21 mentioned, a working AOSP rom, which was most probably developed by Xiaomi is available on the miui forums. I have it on my mi pad 2 as well and it's working fine. I am looking forward to a CM rom for this tablet and I will be happy to help with testing!
Sincerely
dspati

Im too tired with stupid MIUI on this awesome tablet :
Stupid ram management, it has 2gb ram but it cannot run multi-tasking !
Im facing a big Problem i was not aware about..the Kernel of the MiPad2 is not open source so we are pretty f**ed by xiaomi. In fact the Kernel source has to be released but xiaomi don't care about Copyright infringements. I regret the decision buying this Tab. I like the Dualboot thingy and the aosp Rom runs smooth as butter but without the source we'll stuck on 5.1.1. really sad if you ask me, the Tablet is really beautyful and I love the outstanding Display. I'll try to figure around with the kernel from the aosp Rom next week I'll keep u informend and will make a thread if I suceed.
Cheers

Please build or port an Aosp rom to our great devices.

If you already knew then why did you start a new thread?
Why do some people think that asking for a ROM will make it magically happen faster or something?

Do you use AOSP rom if that rom don't have fingerprint function (because RMN4 use FPC1035 with MTK TrustSonic enabled, it's so hard to port it unless Xiaomi release kernel source code) ?
Most people asking for porting rom from other devices but also demand porting rom have full functions working like original rom which impossible to make it happen...

Yep. As I said in the X20 kernel thread, it's only just the beginning because that's only generic X20 kernel source. ODM's *always* add their own hardware that is not covered by the original kernel source.
Typically, Camera and Sensor drivers were the most difficult to port (with blobs and reverse-engineering stock firmware). But TrustSonic sounds like it will be the biggest task.

What about Redmi k30 Ultra Custom roms?

I was planning to buy this amazing device but i'm a little bit worried about the long term usage(atleast 2years) because of MIUI and Deminsity 1000+ .. so is there any chance of getting custom roms and gcam stable port? Because Redmi Note 8Pro is also on mediatek chipset but it has a lot of gcam port and custom rom support.
This is a phone made for China, I don't think there will be alot of custom roms. And I don't think there will be a gcam as well.
A Custom ROM basically doesn't depend on Android device's chipset.
The general approach to finding one is Googling for "YOUR_PHONE_MODEL ROM" or something similar, optionally including the wanted Android version. Try it out - you'll find what you want.
I will build rom for this line. There are international languages.

Very happy to see this and will be following eagerly @vandieutot . I really like my phone but the software is a big let down. Too many issues and workarounds required to get it working properly.
In preparation for this, could you tell me what will be required?
I currently have the K30 Ultra but its still standard phone. No root or anything else as yet.

Hi,

I do not build anymore (no time) but I can offer a build server in case you need something to build rather fast.

If your rom safe to flash(no brick) im ready to help in testing.
If you can make a custom rom, that would be wonderful. Many k30u owners in China want it. There is a guy that made an Aosp rom for it, but he can't fix the bugs(fingerprint bluetooth)so if you can just help us, that would be great!

Question How much time it will take for the first custom roms to appear?

I bought this device 6 months ago and since then I've been curious about custom roms in here, and some time ago they released the kernel source for Kyoto (Motorola Edge 20 Lite)
Currently working on TWRP. It's working but a few more bits to iron out before releasing. Watch this space
As far as custom Roms... Can't help.. GSIs work fine though

Is there hope? I'm a n00b but from what I've heard developing custom ROMs for MediaTek processor is basically impossible.

i think that has more to do with the source code being released or not. it has however been released: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-source-released.4407299/

Are you willing to test the kernel?
Sakthivel Nadar, has agreed to develop kernel and roms, he is maintaining roms and did bringup for these devices.
- Poco M2
- Redmi 9 Prime
- Realme 1
- Realme U1
- Realme C2
He is also maintaining PE officially for Redmi 9 Prime and Poco M2.
All the above devices are based on mediatek chipsets.
Here's his GitHub for reference.

https://download.pixelexperience.org/team/sparxfusion
I would be interested in testing a custom ROM on this device. However, is there any risk of hard-bricking the device beyond the point of no redemption?
I have not been a custom ROM tester before.
